Motorboat And Yachting Lomo Coriolis Sailing Jacket Review

LOMO CORIOLIS SAILING JACKET | BEST VALUE AWARD

LOMO is a Scottish-based online retailer of watersports clothing and gear. By designing all its own products and selling direct to the consumer with no shops or middlemen, it is able to offer decent quality gear at a remarkably low price.

The Coriolis sailing jacket only comes in this one red colour and unisex cut but sizes range from XS to 2XL. The fabric is unbranded and we couldn’t determine how many layers it features but it is waterproof to 20,000mm and features a DWR coating, so water beads off it, and it has fully taped seams. The cutis a little shorter and ~~snugger than some (the test sample is a Large, whereas the others are all Medium) so it doesn’t cover your backside when seated. However, the elbows are reinforced and the sleeves feature the usual inner and outer adjustable cuffs. The main zip isn’t waterproof and only comes up to neck height, but velcro tabs on the fleece- lined collar ensure a snug fit round your neck while double storm flaps with a folded seam funnel water away from your chest. Deep cargo pockets with microfleece handwarmers behind are complemented by a pair of water resistant outer chest pockets and a secure inner one.
